//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Loves Weird // by ILIKEBOOKS //------------------------------// I am such an idiot! I'm worse than a two timing pig, I'm a three timing pig! What do I do? Maybe I can keep this going for longer maybe they won't find out. No, that's foalish of course they will find out. So I will have to choose...but who do I choose? They're all just so cute, nice, and playful I can't believe they want to date me. What do I do? Spike sat on the ground his hands were on his head. His emotions were bursting at the seems. Spike sat there and dwelled in his own self pity. He took a deep breath and let it out. He figured that if he was going to do this he would at least make them happy. Spike stood up and walked inside the library. He didn't know what kind of date Scootaloo would like maybe a walk in the park? It should be perfect they will be outside and it won't be too romantic. It's the ideal place to have a date. Spike walked up to Twilight and asked her for some bits. The Alicorn simply nodded and floated some bits into his palm. She gave him a comforting smile and waved. Spike put the bits into a small pouch and walked out. He was going to get something to Scootaloo as a sign of his affection well at least that's what they do in movies. He walked into Ponyville's market, there was a couple dozen of citizens talking, buying or just walking. Spike saw the market stall which was his target. He moved fast and swiftly through the thin crowd of ponies. Spike walked up to a market stall that a pale yellow mare with a raspberry mane was operating. "Hello Spike," the mare said with a happy grin. "Hi, Roseluck I came here to buy a certain somepony a gift," Spike said. Roseluck raised an eyebrow and gave Spike a coy look. "So, a special somepony huh, it isn't Rarity is it?" Roseluck gave Spike a knowing look. Which caused the drake to blush he remembered his silly crush on Rarity. "Actually it's not for Rarity it's for somepony else," Roseluck opened her mouth as to say something but Spile stopped her. "And I'm not going to tell you," Roseluck smiled and placed a few flowers on the table. All the flowers seemed to be glowing by all of their color. Spike examined each flower and asked which one would be best. "Well if this is a date a rose should do just nicely" she gave one a sniff. "Can't beat the classics," Spike nodded as to say that he knew what she was talking about but in reality he didn't know anything about flowers. She wrapped the flower and placed it back on the table. "That'll be one bit," Spike pulled the bit out of the pouch and placed it on the table then he grabbed the rose and walked off. "Thanks for the rose, Roseluck," Spike said as he dashed off. Roseluck watched as he walked off. Ahh young love, maybe one one day I'll find love too she thought as she looked at a certain curly haired orange mare. Scootaloo was pacing in her room she was nervous so very nervous. She had her mane tied back in a ponytail (pun not intended) and allowed only a little of her bangs to show. She never had her mane done and it wasn't a very comfortable experience for her, but her mother caught wind of her date and she couldn't resist the temptation to do her daughters mane. Scootaloo had lipstick on and violet eye shadow on (to match her mane color her mother said) she could easily be mistaken for a different pony. Scootaloo looked at her self in the mirror she had to admit that she did look pretty but she was way out of her comfort zone. She had been thinking about the date. I hope nothing goes wrong I finally have a coltfriend er drakefriend and I'm not going to screw this up Scootaloo took a deep breath. "Everything is going to be fine, Spike loves you and he won't just stop loving you, this is going to be great," she said to herself. She heard a knock on the door and walked downstairs to answer it. Spike was standing outside with the rose hidden behind his back. He heard the doorknob twist and out came Scootaloo. Spike was amazed by the filly. Never before in his life has he seen Scootaloo like this, she looked so beautiful. He felt his heart beat quicken. "Hi, Spike," Scootaloo said shyly. She walked closer to him and nervously shifted in place. Spike showed the rose to Scootaloo and smiled. Scootaloo was surprised she never was given a rose before and she didn't know what to say. "T..thanks Spike roses are my favorite," She then chewed on the rose and smiled. "it's delicious!" Spike's confidence rose and he gave her a small hug. "So for our first date I wanted to go for a walk in the park," Scootaloo grinned. "I think that's a great idea," Scootaloo kissed his cheek. "So let's get going then," the pair headed of into the town chatting with each other and occasionally stared into each other's eyes. They entered the lush green park, small critters could be seen scurrying about. Celestia's sun was high in the sky and birds from all around were chirping. The pair sighed dreamily the day surely was beautiful. Spike saw a perfect place to sit and walked Scootaloo towards there. Spike and Scootaloo sat under a large oak tree and stared at one another. Spike smiled and Scootaloo did so too. Spike's emotions were juxtaposed against his fear of the fillies not loving him no more. He wiped a stray hair out of Scootaloo's face. Spike placed a hand on her cheek. "I was actually very nervous about this date I didn't want to ruin our relationship and I know now that I had no reason to worry about," Spike said. "I was nervous too I was afraid that I might screw up and make you not like me," Scootaloo admitted. "Scootaloo I know we may be young and childish but I think that I really do love you and I don't want to lose this feeling that we have," "Just kiss me already," Scootaloo said. Spike smiled and pulled her face toward his. Their lips met and Scootaloo felt so happy and loved. She never wanted to stop kissing him. Spike slipped his tongue into her mouth and the filly's eyes widened. She closed her eyes and attempted to mimic his movements. Their kiss was sloppy and inexperienced but it felt perfect to them. Spike put his other hand in her mane and pulled off her mane tie allowing her mane to go free. Scootaloo wrapped her front arms around his neck. Scootaloo carefully lowered Spike to the ground and laid on top of him. They continued kissing passionately separating for a split second to breathe than kissed again. This pattern continued and Scootaloo loved every second of it. She didn't know why but kissing him while on top felt so much better than normal. Their lips parted and Scootaloo smiled widely. Spike poked her muzzle and smiled too. "Scootaloo I think that I really do love you," Spike placed a hand on her cheek. Scootaloo never allowed her girly self out but right now she started giggling like a schoolfilly. Scootaloo felt like a princess a one with a handsome knight protecting her. "Spike I think I just might love you too," Scootaloo tried to purr flirtatiously but it ended up coming out a little like a growl. Spike placed a hand on her front hoof. "Scootaloo I think that you are gorgeous," Scootaloo cheeks reddened and she looked away. "No you don't I'm not that pretty," Spike put his hand under her chin and made her look at him. "Would a filly who's not pretty get kissed like this," Spike pulled her into another kiss but this one was shorter. "I guess not," Scootaloo said. Spike smiled and stood up and grabbed her hoof to pick her up. The sun was starting to get low and Spike decided that it was time to end the date. They walked to Scootaloo's house hand and hoof. Spike was on Scootaloo's front porch. "Thanks Spike I had an amazing time," "I did too maybe we can do this another time maybe next week?" Scootaloo smiled. "Consider it a date," Scootaloo gave Spike peck on the lips and walked into her house. She walked up the stairs and into her bedroom where she laid on her bed. "That was the best day of my life," the filly said before closing her eyes. "I love you Spike," the filly said to herself as she fell to sleep. Spike walked along the gravel path towards the library. He smiled and started whistling to himself. He felt like singing he was that happy. He entered the library and walked through the main room up the stairs. Where he saw a angry looking Twilight. "Hey Twi, what's wrong?," Spike asked innocently. "Spike, Sweetie Belle came by today to visit you and she said that you two were dating," Twilight crossed her front legs while sitting on her flank. Spike eyes widened in fear. Twilight walked up to Spike her angry look was still plastered on her face. Spike felt sweat form on his forehead as her stare pierced his very soul. Spike was paralyzed by magenta glow that was surrounding him. Twilight walked closer to him only inches away. Spike could smell her mane it smelled of citrus and honey. A divine smell which was the only nice thing that was in this situation. "Now Spike," Twilight began. "You are going to tell me what the hell is going on!," Twilight yelled. Spike closed his eyes and flinched. This is it karma was to kill him, burn his dead body and piss on his ashes. Spike prayed in his mind that this was just a dream. Then Spike opened his to see the angry alicorn still there. The realization hit him like a brick wall. This is it this is how I am going to die
